If there’s supposed to be a bio-shield o the island then that bug may not be ‘just’ a bug. Someone or thing nefarious might be after our Pickle and what better way to catch a ‘tweens attention then a cute little flutterby? Hope this isn’t a bio-attack. http://the-ayrie.net/blog-images03/11-25-2016grissom10.jpg
I find it really hard to take seriously anyone who slips explicitives into their conversations. I get that she’s angry and not a human so that ridiculous argument of “human rules don’t apply” happens, but she’s also…What, 13? What sort of thirteen year old would really talk like this? Yeah I get that she’s”wise beyond her years” or other excuses, but her swearing like this and having such massive mood swings she’s rocking a boat doesn’t make her endearing, it makes her look ridiculous. She’s a kid, let her act and talk like one – not some unfiltered mouthpiece for shock value.
Do you have children? I live near a primary school and the language I hear from the kids leaving for the day beggars belief. Personally I apparently had a swearing contest with a friend at 8 years old…..but given my age now, I can’t remember that far back^^.
So NO I don’t find her language excessive, especially given the circumstances.
Yeah, I’ve had my nose rubbed in it by my 14-year-old granddaughter. She swears like a sailor (do they still swear?) and Castela’s yelling sounds just like her. No, I don’t seem to be able to moderate her.
Sorry to disappoint Disapon but when I was a teen most teens cursed up a storm and only was not cursing when in front of other adults. Now almost 30 and I’ve personally toned it down but it is totally not a stretch that Pickle let them words fly. Sometimes verbal venting accompanied with physical actions help to cool down most ppl on a rage/tirade. Just saying lol not unbelievable.
My wife is a psychotherapist. For several years she had an arrangement where her clients could smash pottery safely, to work off anger… we got cracked mugs and other kiln failures from a local artist. Her clients seemed to appreciate the opportunity.
Never did move up to firearms or explosives or plasma beams, though. Getting a use permit for a gigawatt laser is difficult in this county.
The point of >having< a gigawatt laser is that you don't have to ask for a permit. "Nice Records Room, be a shame if anything happened to it. Or the town you live in…"
My husband kept a cabinet stocked with glassware / stemware that had cracks and chips. He wrote in sharpie on them “In case of emergency break glass”. Rarely used, but VERY therapeutic!
“PSST. Attention MIB “IceCream&Chocolate” strike team! We need to update our action strategy to include some quickly deployable real or holographic butterflies. Apparently they function as a “cancel button” to the Death Star’s firing sequence..”
Every pubescent female I’ve ever known
and, I’m 63 years old … … …
…the rare, metaphor butterfly in its natural environment.
This is me when the off chance I get angry happens.
Is there more to that butterfly than meets the eye(stalk)?
It’s a Chaos Butterfly!
Fred Rogers voice: “Can you say ‘fae cursed’?
Sure you can!“ 🥴
She’s a lot like Brandi. When she blows, she blows big time but keeps it bottled up until it’s safe to let go.
I think the point is that the hands that can melt rock can also catch and hold safe a butterfly.
Or more importantly, that the person with those hands can do both.
Be careful Pickle… Zulime will get you TOO…
She’s still busy, playing with her pet werewolf.
I almost never laugh out loud at comics, but Pickle’s done it to me for two consecutive days. ‘And fuck that fucking rock in particular’–hee hee hee!
She’s fine.
“Bio shield”???
The area is supposed to be “sterile of all natural wildlife”

Gotcha, thanks, I didn’t have time to archive-dive to find this.
basically, it sounds like a supernatural shooting range… XD Keep innocent creatures out while people with nuclear capabilities vent.
That was awesome. I love Pickle. <3
(In a totally platonic way, of course. As a baseline human, I'm unlikely to survive any other way.)

Fae, perhaps?
You leave the doors open, even just going in and out, all sorts of vermin can sneak in…
This must be what they call
…..
the Butterfly Effect.
Rock on, Cass
Dual-wield plasma lances…

Ahh, Female emotions; that’s what keeps our world in balance…
I’ll note that she has not lost herself.
If you look on Google, you will find a lot of anger rooms that you can rent and smash things till you feel better. http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/anger-rooms-break-stress-rage-article-1.2660263 I understand that there was one in Texas where you could rent a fifty caliber machine unto do your destruction.

We’ve all had days like that. Only mostly without planet slicing plasma beams.
